Our logo is based up on the abstract art of Piet Mondrian. His purist approach to a visual and emotional statement was the objective that he was trying to achieve in his de-constructive work, he removed all unnecessary elements. Our approach to software development is founded on the same fundamental belief, breaking down your business procedures to their simplest form, before developing a software solution that focusing on your needs and ensures the user interface provides an intuitive User eXperience (UX).

We approach software development in much the same way that an architect would. Attempting to construct a house without an architect's input would be disastrous, as the old adage goes, "fail to plan, plan to fail".

Our philosophy is based upon the needs of your target audience and understanding their requirements. We specialise in developing intuitive solutions that focus on the user experience. Our passion is developing lightweight, robust, secure on-line applications.

Secure by design: a return to a more formal approach? I read an article "? interim cyber security strategy to tackle emerging cyber risks" earlier today and was interested to read towards the end of the article the following comment: "While emerging technologies present significant opportunity, when the development, roll-out and management is not secure by design, the risks can quickly outweigh the benefits"

By now you will have now all heard about the new regulations that come in to force next May that replace the Data Protection Act 1998, even if you don't understand the impact it has on your business. We've written this article in the first instance to help our clients understand the changes in the regulations, but we're sure businesses similar to ours (software development / web development) would benefit from the research we've undertaken, as part of our preparations for next May.

I am going to sound like a grumpy old git now, but when I first started developing software the source code was shipped with third party components - Visual Basic Apps (VBA) that later became ActiveXs (OCX) - that enabled developers to patch bugs, etc. When Microsoft introduced ActiveX components - pre-built chunks of code that saved hours of programming - they stopped the release of source code and that for me was the death of third party components.

Whilst researching this article I found the following statement that at first shocked me, but on reflection wasn???t a surprise: According to the Standish Group???s famous CHAOS Report of 2000, 25% of all projects still fail outright through eventual cancellation, with no useful software deployed. Sadly, this represents a big improvement over CHAOS reports from past years. And now there is more evidence of the same kind

Simplification of complex procedures is often more challenging than you might first imagine. The first step if to break down the procedure into its simplest components; decompiling each step in order to arrive as a series of micro decisions that ultimately result in a true or false statement. Once you are able to break down a procedure to this level you can rebuild it ??? removing the complexity from the user interface ??? and make a complex task simple.
